Chapter 404

Thank you, son-in-law, you're so generous~

Wishing you, uncle-in-law, and the two aunts a blissful union for ten thousand years, may you soon have a noble child, hehe~

Fu family.

Lu Xun walked along, handing out red packets all the way.

He was exceptionally generous, each red packet containing one cubic unit of Dark Energy.

This would be unimaginable for an ordinary family.

These Dark Energy were also prepared in advance by Fu Yue.

She certainly didn't intend to let Lu Xun contribute both effort and money.

Thus, Lu Xun used red packets as a gift to open the way, and all the way arrived at the Fu family's main hall.

This main hall also has a rather good name, called the Heavenly Martial Hall.

The Fu family is a martial arts family; the number of martial cultivators far exceeds that of Immortal Cultivators.

In the main hall, basically all the Fu family members were present.

This time Lu Xun's marriage proposal, aside from a few people, the Fu family members were all genuinely involved.

As for Fu Yue and Fu Xue, they did not show themselves, but hid behind the screen.

During the proposal, they needed to avoid appearing.

"Haha, little Xun, come."

Upon seeing Lu Xun, the old master Fu's face broke into a smile.

"Old master, the procedure isn't finished yet."

Auntie Xue blocked Lu Xun, not letting him move forward.

"Oh, right, right, look at my memory."

The old master Fu reacted.

The procedure for a marriage proposal is actually not complicated, but it still needs a ceremony.

"Lu Xun."

Xu Xiuzhen smiled at Lu Xun.

By her side stood a man in green robes, hands behind his back, like a lone crane soaring above frost, possessing an inherently pure and extraordinary aura.

This is Fu Tianze.

Not,

More accurately, it is from a previous life.

"Auntie."

Lu Xun nodded in return.

As for the man in green robes, he merely gave Lu Xun a slight nod.

"Lu Xun, let's begin."

Auntie Xue said to Lu Xun.

"Good."

After straightening his attire, Lu Xun clasped his hands in salute and gave a deep bow to the Fu family members.

Then he raised his eyes, his gaze warm yet firm, and spoke loudly——

"Fu clan's noble gate, martial brilliance lasting through the ages."

"Moon essence condensing the soul, snow essence pure in form."

"Now, I, Lu Xun, lacking talent, wish to betroth with the Three Letters and Six Etiquettes, seeking to wed the two fairies, Fu Yue and Fu Xue."

Saying this, Lu Xun lightly raised his palm; with a flip of his hand, a gilded jade slip appeared, its dark patterns flowing, faintly echoing a dragon's roar.

"This slip bears the covenant of heaven and earth—I, Lu Xun, vow with my lifelong cultivation to protect the two completely; even if heavenly thunderbolts strike, I shall have no regret for today's promise."

Lu Xun held the jade slip and swore aloud.

Although this is a performance put on for the man in green robes, and he very likely knows it's an act.

But Lu Xun cannot help but perform.

Since he's performing, he naturally ought to do it well.

Having finished speaking, Lu Xun lightly tapped his fingertip; the jade slip turned into flowing light and vanished into the void.

"A low hum~"

Heaven and earth resonated; suddenly, rosy light descended from the sky.

"Wow, the uncle-in-law's vow triggered a heavenly phenomenon."

"He is sincere toward the two aunts."

"Isn't that nonsense? If it weren't sincere, how would the two aunts be willing to marry him?"

The Fu family members present immediately began to stir.

"Has an omen arisen?"

This scene, Lu Xun hadn't anticipated either.

He merely followed Fu Yue's procedure, using the Grand Void Dragon-Phoenix slip commonly employed by great clans for marriage proposals to make an oath, never expecting it would actually trigger a heavenly phenomenon.

This oath is actually not false.

Regardless of whether it's an act, after being bound to Fu Yue and Fu Xue, Lu Xun will do his utmost to protect them.

"Good, good, good!"

The old master Fu called out 'good' three times in a row.

In his gaze toward Lu Xun, there was nothing but satisfaction.

In his opinion, Lu Xun's oath actually triggered an omen, which clearly shows he truly cares for his two precious granddaughters.

Now there is hope that this act will become genuine!

「Sister... 」

Behind the screen, Fu Xue couldn't help but look at her own sister.

「Perhaps this Grand Void Dragon Phoenix Slip is somewhat special. 」

Fu Yue could only explain it this way.

But this explanation is clearly unconvincing.

Fu Xue stared at Lu Xun through the screen, not knowing what she had thought of, and her face actually turned red.

「Lu Xun, don't just stand there, continue. 」

In the center of the main hall, seeing Lu Xun dazed, Granny Xue sent a mental reminder.

Lu Xun reacted.

He flicked his sleeve and threw out three crimson-gold talismans, which circled the hall beams like a phoenix spreading its wings.

「If you agree... these 'Profound Sky Breaking Barrier Talismans' can serve as a token——they can help the Fu family juniors break through the shackles of the Seven Realms! 」

These talismans belong to a relatively rare type of barrier-breaking talisman.

It is a kind of spirit talisman, but not used for attack; rather, it is used to break barriers and breakthrough bottlenecks.

Such talismans are extremely rare in the present East, because too few people can craft them.

For example, offensive and defensive spirit talismans can actually be made with shortcuts.

For offensive spirit talismans, as long as you find the materials and get help from the Six Realms to act, you can produce them.

This is equivalent to storing the Six Realms' attack inside a spirit talisman using a spirit talisman.

But barrier-breaking talismans simply cannot be made with shortcuts.

To craft a barrier-breaking talisman, you not only need extremely high attainment in talisman drawing, but also need your cultivation to reach the corresponding level.

Otherwise, the talisman crafter themselves haven't broken through the Seven Realms, so they don't understand the Seven Realms' shackles.

How does one go about crafting a barrier-breaking talisman?

Therefore, these three Profound Sky Breaking Barrier Talismans are extraordinarily precious.

While the Fu family marveled at Lu Xun's skill, Lu Xun then, as if performing a trick, produced a bronze ancient lamp.

「Also prepared a pair of 'Star River Twin-wick Lamps'; the wicks are refined from the undying soul fire obtained on the ancient road... 」

The lamp flame suddenly burst forth, reflecting the ceiling stars as if hanging upside down.

「Just like my heart—sun and moon turn, ever bright and never extinguished. 」
